Intro: F Dm Am C Verse 1: F Dm I don't live in California, I'll inform you, that's not where I reside Am C I'm just a tenant, paying rent inside this body and I F Dm Got two windows and those windows, well I'll call them my eyes Am C I'm just going where the wind blows, I don't get to decide Pre-Chorus: F Dm Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up Am I'm always stuck in my head F Dm I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday Am Took all the sheets off my bed Chorus: F Dm Am Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found F Scaled the side of the building Dm Am I ran to the hills till they found me F And they put me back in my cell Dm Am All by myself, alone with my thoughts again F Dm Am I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out Verse 2: F Dm So they tranquilized me, analyzed me, threw me back in my cage Am C Then they tied me to an IV, told me I was insane F Dm I'm a prisoner, a visitor inside of my brain Am C And no matter what I do, they try to keep me in chains Pre-Chorus: F Dm Sometimes I think too much, yeah, I get so caught up Am I'm always stuck in my head F Dm I wish I could escape, I tried to yesterday Am Took all the sheets off my bed Chorus: F Dm Am Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found F Scaled the side of the building Dm Am I ran to the hills till they found me F And they put me back in my cell Dm Am All by myself, alone with my thoughts again F Dm Am I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out Bridge: F Dm Said even if it's true, no matter what I do Am I'm never gonna escape F Dm I won't give up on hope, secure another rope Am And try for another day F Dm Said even if it's true, no matter what I do Am I'm never gonna escape F Dm I won't give up on hope, secure another rope Am And try for another day Chorus: F Dm Am Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found F Scaled the side of the building Dm Am I ran to the hills till they found me F And they put me back in my cell Dm Am All by myself, alone with my thoughts again F Dm Am I guess my mind is a prison and I'm never gonna get out
